Coast + Kin Photography

Documentary at heart, with a touch of editorial.

My editing is true to colour and film inspired. Leaving room for creativity and intuition. If there's a tone or aesthetic you love, I'll thoughtfully weave it into your story while ensuring your images feel authentic and enduring.

I photograph with both digital and 35mm film, blending modern reliability with the timeless character that film brings.

As a local to the Gulf Islands, I know the hidden beaches, ocean overlooks, and forest paths that make Salt Spring Island so endlessly beautiful. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a celebration surrounded by loved ones, I can help guide you toward locations that feel both meaningful and uniquely West Coast.

My Approach

My approach is rooted in observation. I document your day as it naturally unfolds, paying close attention to the atmosphere, relationships, and meaningful details that make your celebration uniquely yours.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to caring for my clients. From our first conversation to your final gallery, I take the time to understand what matters most to you, offering guidance, support, and a calm presence throughout the process.

Guided by fine-art principles of light, composition, and emotion, I create imagery that feels both intentional and honest. While I'll gently direct portraits when needed, the photographs valued most are often the in-between moments—the ones that reveal how your day truly felt.

The result is a collection of timeless, heartfelt images that preserve not only the events of your wedding day, but the connections, emotions, and atmosphere that made it unforgettable.

If you'd like to share your story with me, I'd be honoured to document it.

Thank you for being here.

Hi! I'm Alanda

Photography has been a life long love of mine.

Growing up in an artistic house hold, different art mediums came naturally to me, painting, drawing, sculpture, but photography always had my heart. You'll usually find me boating around the gulf islands with my family or enjoying our ski cabin on Mt. Cain while chasing a 6 year old around.

Even though digital came in hot in 2008, Film photography has gotten big again and I fell back in love with it. It looks gorgeous straight out of camera and reminds me of the technical fundamentals and human element of it. Slowing down for correct exposures and keeping a connection between myself and my couple. Comfort is important. It made me a better photographer even with digital. 

My approach is documentary and story-driven, inspired by the adventurous spirit of the west coast. I enjoy weddings, elopements, and celebrations across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and beyond.

Happy Clients

What can I say? I’m still coming down of the high that was our wedding day and that’s mostly thanks to Alanda. She made our day so easy and fun. She was incognito when she needed to be and bright, fun and bubbly when it was appropriate too. She captured the magic of the day perfectly and gave us memories to cherish despite the whole thing being a blur to us.

She made us look like naturals behind the camera (we aren’t) and made us feel happy, safe and comfortable at the same time.

You know you’ve found a good one when every guest at the wedding remarks at how fun, professional and cool the photographer is! Thank you so much for making our day and our pictures perfect.
